Metro Infanta Foundation continues outreach
By Mila Glodava
The 2006 fund campaign ended with a total collection of $31,935.00. Our thanks to all our donors for their continued support. The difference between what we recently posted ($22,935.00) on the website and our final total is a $9,000 donation to fund various causes including Socio Pastoral Institute as MIF's mission partner -- distributing funds, monitoring progress, coordinating and providing administrative support for our grant recipients.
Metro Infanta Foundation is proud to provide much needed financial support of various causes including the following:
Mt. Carmel School of Infanta, $10,000
St. Bernard, Leyte disaster, $500 (This was matched by Kirsten Music and friends to make a total donation of $1,000)
Carmelite Seminary, $3,000
St. Joseph House of Formation, $1,000
Computer for Panukulan High School, $1,200
Atlas for MCHS-$154
Prelature of Infanta, $3,387.14
Prelature of Infanta, $9,112.93 (Mission Appeal)
Humanitarian and other outreach, $2,500
Holy Family Parish, $1,000
Scholarships, $16,000
Our thanks to the following donors who have made our support of the above possible. Many of them pledged a certain amount for the year or for a particular project and made payments throughout the year. We know it means a lot of sacrifice for these donors to make a commitment to support Metro Infanta Foundation, and for this we are truly grateful. Without them, we could not have addressed the many needs in Metro Infanta and beyond. I ask those who visit our website and tell us what a great service Metro Infanta Foundation is to our kababayans. If this is true, then it follows that they would want to be part of such a great service, and therefore make an equal sacrifice as the current donors, and a commitment to support our efforts by joining the people and organizations listed below. Together, we can accomplish much more than we can imagine.

We also would like to thank our sister organizations who support directly the various agencies in Metro Infanta. We have highlighted some of them form time to time, or when they let us know of their efforts. Among them are various MCHS alumni groups that organize reunions and give their proceeds to their alma mater. Also, the Metro Infanta Association of Michigan has supported the needs of the Claro M. Recto Hospital with financial and in-kind donations. When put together, all our efforts are a tremendous help. Pleae keep your efforts alive in your neighborhood.
